The police said that Selvachandran (32) of Mankadu, a Marketing businessman, asked money from his friends Harish, Ganesh, and Shyam almost 18 months ago. They paid him Rs 20 lakh each to become partners of his business and share the profit equally. When Selvachandran refused to give them any profits or repay their investment saying the business was dull, they filed a police complaint.

His friends, who came to know about his plan, waited near the airport and attacked his driver as soon as Selvachandran reached the airport. They kidnapped Selvachandran in his car.

A police team who rushed to Thirumangalam around 3.30 am found all four of them near the Thirumangalam police station and arguing. They were then taken to the Airport police station.
